Siege of Terra de Prata

The Siege of Terra de Prata occurred in 1583 when England besieged the Portuguese colony of Terra de Prata. The English force consisted of an English explorer and a small army of allied Inca warriors, and the Inca began the siege with the "Elk Massacre", which saw several Portuguese settlers be massacred by the natives while hunting elk. Soon after, the English discovered the location of the settlement of Terra de Prata, and another army of English troops (including musketeers, hussars, and rockets) razed the city. The Portuguese were forced to surrender as a result of the destruction of their colony.
